Know why ‘Comedy Nights With Kapil’ was pulled off air

Mumbai: Fans of Kapil Sharma have all the reasons to be depressed. Their favourite show is off air now! As they say, there are two sides to a coin, here’s another side to the story of the popular show being pulled off air.

Kapil had his own reasons to give to explain the end of his show. In an interview to TOI, the CEO of the channel that aired ‘Comedy Nights With Kapil’ broke his silence on the controversy to clear the air and put all speculations to rest.

According to the channel head, Kapil violated his contract and started hosting shows for rival channels despite having an exclusive agreement with them. Moreover, he wanted the channel airing CNWK to double his remuneration. The CEO has also alleged that it was Kapil who chose to make ‘Comedy Nights With Kapil’ a weekly show. Earlier, the show was aired both on Saturdays and Sundays. But since Kapil was busy with films and other commitments, he insisted on making it weekly.

However, the channel as a unit respects and admires Kapil Sharma as a person and as an artist.
